    PAST CONTINUOUS

    We use Past Continuous to say that somebody was in the middle of doing
    something at a certain time. The action or situation had already started
    before this time but had not finished.

    Formula: (+) S + to be 2 + V-ing + O + A

    (-) S + to be 2 + not + V-ing + O + A

    (?) to be 2 + S + V-ing + O + A ?

    Examples: I was cooking a cake this time last night.

    I wasn’t cooking a cake this time last night.

    Were you cooking a cake this time last night?

    Compare with Past Simple :

    Past Continuous Past Simple

    In the middle of action Complete Action

    Past Simple happened after Past Continuous.

    Example : When I was walking along the road, I saw Dave.
